Other times people say racist stuff, and they don't understand it's racist.

I really don't think the president is racist... Do you honestly think he is racist? He was raised by his white mother, and he talks about her with love and respect. I think he honors her memory, and he hasn't created any racist policies.

President Obama: Hello, Eric?...

Holder: Yes Mr. President...Good morning.

President Obama: Look, this issue with the BPP, in Philly?..

Holder: Yes sir?...

President Obama: Drop it

Holder: But...

President Obama: Drop it Eric, I need them later....

It kinda wraps that up.

Now had he been born in another country, THEN he'd be disqualified because his mothers age/time of residency issues.

However, it took the Donald to make this happen. Corsi's book publisher is probably very very sad today.

one drop. nuff said.

Nobody who wins a war indulges in a bifurcated definition of victory. War is a political act; victory and defeat have meaning only in political terms. A country incapable of achieving its political objectives at an acceptable cost is losing the war, regardless of battlefield events.

Bifurcating victory (e.g. winning militarily, losing politically) is a useful salve for defeated armies. The "stab in the back" narrative helped take the sting out of failure for German generals after WWI and their American counterparts after Vietnam.

All the same, it's nonsense. To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, show me a political loser, and I'll show you a loser.

On the way he lofted some good shots at the press for failing to do their jobs. All the antagonists on the left have their long knives out... they better watch they don't go tripping down the stairs and impaling themselves like Sr. Lawrence Olivier in Marathon Man.

You have a reference for where Obama is going to make a statement because Trump brought it up?? Or that Obama thinks Trump is a joke? Or even cares about Trump?
